I can see the commodity price curve

Chapter 856 What is the truth?

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Especially Zhang Yue, he asked in bewilderment: "Who is Lan Feiyan? Is she a plush toy designer?"

After asking, I was still confused.

Even if the other party is a plush toy designer, such a plush toy is not worth auctioning, right?

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, Zhan Rongrong said with a look of disgust: "No way, you don't even know Lan Feiyan?"

Zhang Yue was puzzled: "Should I know?"

Zhan Rongrong snorted, “Of course you have to know that Lan Feiyan is the hottest star right now.

The costume drama she starred in, "Rebirth: Eighteen Ideal Husbands All Love Me", is well-known to everyone."

Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment: "Wait, what are you talking about? Eighteen ideal men spoiling me together?
Are costume dramas now so abstract?"

Zhan Rongrong said disdainfully: "What abstract? You haven't watched this drama. If you had, you would definitely applaud."

Zhang Yue blinked and thought: Really? Why don't I think so?

Zhan Rongrong was about to speak, but she saw Zhang Wei suddenly stand up, his expression full of excitement: "It's Lan Feiyan? That's great!"

Then he looked at the stuffed toy on the auction table, his eyes shining.

Zhang Yue next to him looked at him in astonishment, his expression full of confusion. He was no stranger to star chasing.

For example, when he was a kid, he also liked those beautiful stars. But generally speaking, star chasers are young people in their teens, but although Zhang Wei doesn't know the exact age, there are some in their twenties.

He always felt that there was something wrong with the other person as he was still so interested in celebrities at such an old age.

On the auction stage, the host Huamei smiled slightly: "Everyone, I know everyone is very curious about why Lan Feiyan wants to auction this plush toy.

In fact, it is very simple. Ms. Lan Feiyan plans to donate the money raised from the auction to the African Children's Fund to help displaced children in Africa.

Three months ago, Ms. Lan Feiyan went to Kenya to film a movie and learned that the children there lived in extreme poverty, so she wanted to do her best to help.

She doesn’t ask to help everyone, but helping just one more person would be the greatest comfort to her soul.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Rongrong's eyes lit up. She looked at Zhang Yue with an expression full of admiration:
"Brother-in-law, I didn't expect that Lan Feiyan is not only beautiful and a good actress, but also so kind. I like her more and more now."

However, Zhang Yue's expression became extremely strange. He asked Zhan Rongrong: "What did the other party just say? Is it true that there are children in Kenya who cannot make a living?"

If the host mentioned other places in Africa, Zhang Yue would also question it, but at most he would feel a little strange. However, it was different about Kenya.

He owns a gold mine in Kenya with extremely rich gold reserves.

In the beginning, Zhang Yue only let people mine the gold secretly because of safety issues.

But as his own power over there grew stronger, especially after the Guoyue Security Brigade became the most powerful private armed force in Kenya, Zhang Yue ordered his men to speed up the pace of mining, so that now the northern region of Kenya has become the richest region in Africa.

After getting the money, Zhang Yue did not keep it all to himself, but took out a portion of it to help left-behind children in Kenya.

He has been to Africa and knows how hard life is for these children. After a few years of hard work, although the left-behind children in Kenya still live in poverty, they still have enough food and clothing.

Now some people are saying that there are still children who are not getting enough food in Kenya. Is this a joke?
Zhan Rongrong looked at him in surprise: "Is it strange that there are children in Kenya who have difficulty making a living?

In such poor places, it is not only difficult to make a living, but it is normal for people to starve to death every day. "

Zhang Yue's eyes narrowed instantly. He glanced at the host on the stage, then turned to look at Zhan Rongrong, and his voice unconsciously raised a few notes:

"Rongrong, do you really think Kenya is still a place where people starve to death every day?"

Zhan Rongrong was startled by his sudden serious tone and curled her lips and said, "Brother-in-law, isn't that what the news says? Isn't Africa always very poor?"

At this time, Zhang Wei also came back to his senses. Hearing the conversation between the two, he came over with a puzzled look on his face: "Zhang Yue, why are you so interested in Kenya? Have you been there?"

Before Zhang Yue could answer, the bidding on the auction table had already begun. Amid the constant bidding, Zhang Wei raised his number plate without hesitation, his voice filled with irrepressible excitement: "Fifty thousand!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's determined look, Zhang Yue frowned, and the doubts and uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He took out his cell phone and quickly dialed the number of his assistant in charge of gold mining affairs in Kenya:
“Check for me right now if there are any abnormalities in the living conditions of children in Kenya recently, especially in the northern region.”

The assistant's respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Boss, everything is normal, and the children's living standards are steadily improving."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yue's face became even uglier. At this moment, Zhan Rongrong excitedly tugged at his sleeve:
"Brother-in-law, look, Lan Feiyan posted on Weibo!"

As he said that, he handed the phone to him.

On the screen, Lan Feiyan's latest Weibo post showed the plush toy being auctioned, with the caption: "I hope this toy, which carries my love, can bring warmth to the children in Kenya."

The comment section below has already been flooded by fans, filled with words of praise and support.

Zhang Yue sneered and murmured in a low voice: "Warmth? I'm afraid there is another purpose."

Of course, he didn't say it out loud, but raised the bidding card in his hand and said calmly, "One hundred thousand."

That’s right, Zhang Yue planned to buy Lan Feiyan’s plush toy and then see what the other party was trying to do.

As soon as Zhang Yue uttered the word “one hundred thousand”, it instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

You know, he still remembers clearly the crazy bidding between him and Zhang Wei over the Guanyin statue.

Zhang Wei was startled at first, but then his eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and he raised the price without hesitation: "One hundred and twenty thousand!"

His love for Lan Feiyan made him unwilling to easily give up this item that carried his idol's love.

Zhang Yue smiled faintly and raised his bidding card again: "150,000."

"Two hundred thousand!" Zhang Wei responded again.

"Three hundred thousand." Zhang Yue's voice remained calm, as if it was just an insignificant number.

Other people around originally wanted to bid, but when they saw the two of them arguing again, they all gave up tactfully.

"Five hundred thousand!" Zhang Wei's face suddenly turned red. He stared at Zhang Yue fiercely and clenched his fists tightly.

Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Wei's appearance and laughed in his heart, but he remained calm and raised the bidding card calmly: "Six hundred thousand."

The voice was neither loud nor low, but it carried an unquestionable momentum. Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead: "Seven hundred thousand!"

He almost shouted out the number, and the people around him looked at him, some with surprised expressions, while others were whispering.

Zhan Rongrong was stunned watching from the side. She looked at Zhang Wei whose eyes were red, and then at Zhang Yue who was calm and composed. She didn't know why her brother-in-law suddenly became so obsessed with this plush toy.

She tugged at the corner of Zhang Yue's clothes and whispered, "Brother-in-law, that's enough. This price is too outrageous."

Zhang Yue patted her hands, signaling her not to worry, his eyes still fixed on Zhang Wei.

At this moment, Zhang Wei seemed to have fallen into a frenzy. After a brief hesitation, he shouted again: "Eight hundred thousand!"

There was a hint of desperation in his voice.

"One million." Zhang Yue's voice was like a heavy hammer, hitting the auction hall, and instantly making the whole place quiet.

Zhang Wei widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Yue in disbelief. His lips moved, but he could no longer bring himself to raise the price.

His face turned from red to white, and he finally weakly put down the license plate in his hand, his face full of loss.

After the auctioneer called out three times without receiving any response, the gavel fell heavily, and this plush toy carrying many questions finally belonged to Zhang Yue.

After the show, Zhan Rongrong and Zhang Wei left first, while Zhang Yue stayed there waiting for the staff to pack the plush toys.

At this moment, a fashionable woman wearing sunglasses walked up to Zhang Yue and said softly, "Mr. Zhang, Miss Lan Feiyan wants to meet you. Thank you for your support for charity."

Zhang Yue asked curiously, "Lan Feiyan wants to see me? Why does she want to see me?"

Before the woman in sunglasses spoke, Zhan Rongrong beside her couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

Zhang Yue was stunned and looked at her in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Zhan Rongrong said: "Lan Feiyan is different from others, she is a star and a person in the entertainment industry.

The entertainment industry has its own unspoken rules. Her stuffed toy is worthless, but you bought it for one million. She must meet you and take the initiative to show her affection to you. "

It took Zhang Yue a long time to come back to his senses: "You mean, she wants me to be her lover?"

Zhan Rongrong's face fell instantly: "What are you thinking? With Lan Feiyan's current status and position, let alone one million, even if it's ten million, it's impossible for her to do that kind of thing.

She meets you more out of politeness or to give you a chance to get to know her.

Of course, it is not impossible for you to become her lover, but it depends on how you behave afterwards."

Zhang Yue looked at Zhan Rongrong's serious explanation and laughed in his heart. He didn't care about the twists and turns of the entertainment industry.

However, Zhang Yue thought it would be a good idea to meet Lan Feiyan, so that he could ask her in person about the "plight of Kenyan children" which was completely contrary to the facts as stated by her.

He nodded and said to the woman in sunglasses, "Okay, you lead the way."

Passing through the magnificent corridor, Zhang Yue was brought to an elegantly decorated lounge.

Lan Feiyan was wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee in her hand.

Seeing Zhang Yue coming in, she stood up and smiled sweetly: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your generous support for public welfare."

Zhang Yue was stunned. He found that Lan Feiyan was even more beautiful than he had imagined.

She is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of water and geese fall to the ground, the moon hides in shame and the flowers blush, she is so beautiful that she can overwhelm the country and her smile is so charming.

Of course, Zhang Yue was just a little surprised. He quickly came to his senses and said to Lan Feiyan calmly, "Miss Lan, you are too polite. A mere one million is nothing to me."

Lan Feiyan smiled gently: "Mr. Zhang is very generous. No matter what, this is your love for African children. I believe that those children who have been helped will be extremely grateful to you."

"Really? But I don't think so."

Zhang Yue suddenly looked directly at Lan Feiyan, his tone calm but with a hint of oppression, "Miss Lan, are you sure that the children in Kenya are living in such hardship that they need such a large-scale donation?"

Lan Feiyan's smile froze slightly, and her eyes were a little puzzled: "What do you mean, Mr. Zhang? When I was filming in Kenya, I saw with my own eyes that the living conditions of those children were indeed very difficult."

Zhang Yue was not surprised by her answer.

He took out his phone and pulled up photos of children in northern Kenya attending classes in brand new schools and eating in clean cafeterias. “But what Miss Lan saw seemed different from the Kenya I knew.”

Lan Feiyan was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "This is Kenya, why is it completely different from what I saw?"

Suddenly, she raised her head, her pupils slightly contracted, and her delicate face was full of disbelief: "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I don't know what's going on.

When I was filming in Kenya, I visited many villages where the children didn’t even have decent clothes, and many people were crowded in dilapidated huts…”

Zhang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly. From Lan Feiyan's expression and tone, he realized that the other party really seemed to know nothing about the real situation in Kenya.

He slowed down his tone and asked, "Miss Lan, which areas in Kenya did you visit? And who took you to those places?"

Lan Feiyan bit her lip and tried to recall: "A local guide named Mohammed took me there. He said those places best reflect the real life of Kenyan children..."

At this point, her face suddenly turned pale: "Have I been deceived?"

Zhang Yue did not answer immediately. Instead, he took out his cell phone, dialed his assistant's number, and turned on the speakerphone: "Help me find a Kenyan guide named Mohammed. I want his detailed information."

There was a sound of keyboard tapping on the other end of the phone, and soon the assistant replied: "Boss, this Mohammed is the owner of a travel agency. I can't find any information about him."

Zhang Yue frowned and said, "Okay, I know about this."

After hanging up the phone, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said to Lan Feiyan, "Ms. Lan, I'm very sorry. I may have misunderstood the information about Kenya. I'm sorry to bother you."

After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, Lan Feiyan behind him suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Zhang planning to go to Kenya?"

Zhang Yue looked at her in confusion: "How do you know?"

Lan Feiyan smiled: "If it was anyone else, I wouldn't be sure, but you are different, Mr. Zhang.

I have heard a little about your business in Kenya. Since you said that the left-behind children there have good living conditions, I believe you must have done a lot from it.

Now that we have different information, it is normal for you to go to Kenya to verify it. " (End of this chapter)
